Tatjana Schneider to give keynote lecture at RE CLIMATE, Atmosphere 18
To say that Architecture is Climate is to challenge the orthodoxies, assumptions, and protocols of architecture as it is professionally defined. To say that Architecture is Climate is to situate it within unpredictable and volatile contexts. To say that Architecture is Climate is to open up discussions about past and present violent entanglements. To say that Architecture is Climate exposes the discipline, stripping away the layers of protection that any profession wraps itself in, leaving architecture in a raw state. But it is necessary because climate breakdown engulfs us all, overriding boundaries, disciplines, and professional niceties. Better, then, to engage with it.
The lecture draws on the project Architecture Is Climate. It will unpack the challenge of how to think architecture beyond building, starting with reversing the question, ‘What can architecture do for climate breakdown?’ so that it becomes ‚What does climate breakdown do to architecture?’ Instead of situating architecture outside of climate, viewing breakdown as an external condition on which professional expertise can be deployed, Architecture Is Climate argues that we need to understand the mutual contexts of relationality, temporality, modernity, capitalism, politics, measure, and impact.
